Like how do you differentiate between Smithquote250102.dc and Smithquote260102.doc in DOS? Yes it has a 1 or a 2 on the end - not very intuitive. But I'm not interested in either, I'm waiting (hopefully) for the first release of Lindows (www.lindows.com).	Guest (0)

32816	2002-01-25 23:28:00	Eric, why don't you just use a batch file, if that's what you know how to use?	Guest (0)
32817	2002-01-26 00:06:00	More to the point, how would you do that in DOS? Without some very creative .bat scripting, you have no ASPI layer in DOS and so couldnt access your CD-writer using xcopy...	Guest (0)
